VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Dessolos]

alright so i went into this knowing the game was not gonna have any real H scenes and had accepted my fate and so long as it was reasonable and it was actually mainly character building I could acknowledge and understand it but even if the MC is the most demi of demisexuals how does any human in the universe have a girl in your bed, you have contemplated the fact that you might be in love with her, you are both just in your underwear her with her bra off and she says to you "I'm horny" and your only response is to look awkward and apologise. Like literally what? How does that even happen and why did the scene not progress there? No human alive wouldn't have at least tried to help her out or something even if you arent gonna go all in but nah he just sits there like a stump in the woods. I was fine with it honestly when he had rejected stuff before that point because it was reasonable to believe, it being with girls he wasn't familiar with or uncomfortable situations but like this is your actual girlfriend MC are you a brick or what?

I can see why it stopped from 2 angels tbh but it requires a bit of a replay on my part so I could be slightly wrong here. First is simply because of him attempting to keep S1 not tagged as adult cause of steam.

Reason 2 that I could see to make it a bit more believable I admit not entirely but I can accept it for this reason. Wasn't his mother or Nami home at the time? If Nami was home made sense to show some self control and stop after they were fooling around a bit to not make Nami anymore upset.

If his mother was home I could also see and accept not wanting to progress past Bella being topless and in her panties. At least if this was me and I had a parent home while fooling around id stop out of fear of being caught tho I would suggest we go somewhere else to continue. Still doesn't make alot of sense I admit since she was literally topless and in her panties from what I recall but I could accept it from this point of view.

Buddy...a lot of people here have spent years pointing out the same shit you just did. Including the exact example you highlighted. You won't find an answer here. Because there is none.

This is the wrong VN to look for sense, logic or reason. Just smile, wave and praise Ocean. Leave a 5 star review saying the game is a masterpiece. Thank you for coming and have a blessed day.

Namaste

I heard/read that the steam version is severly cut down/censored. Is this true? and if so are we getting a more complete option any time?

both versions are the same... and yes, it was censored a bit, but you won't notice if you haven't played it yet.

for the first reason sure its understandable and in fact the dev did patch out a bunch of stuff to meet steam requirements so its pretty believable that that is why. For the second its unknown weather nami and the mom were home; they were both there the scene prior at breakfast but its implied they slept together for multiple hours so who knows. Either way it could have all been solved by the author just not putting his characters in such an absurd position. Considering a little while later in that same chapter MC still cant seem to get it up for her (which I don't know why she knows about his problems as to my understanding he only ever told nami) and at that point its not even demisexual the dude basically cannot get aroused and I get if the dev wants to make that a plot point but its just not something I want to see in someone who is eventually supposed to be a porn game character, especially one I'm supposed to be projecting myself onto as he is the MC.

I have the file downloaded, but I can't seem to understand what to do next. The instructions say to just run the Summersgone.exe, but it doesn't work for me. I would greatly appreciate any help if anyone knows what I should do! Thank you in advance.

You need to go into the folder that says .app that is the Mac part, to run it. It won't always work; you have to grant it permissions or allow it through gate keeper.

You can build a Mac build yourself with the SDK or play it directly from the SDK.

You can also just get the compressed which has Mac already.

Does anybody knows if the incest patch is already being worked on? Cant stand the roommate and landlady bullshit.

did you do a search to see if you [and the 1 like] are the only ones? first thing i would do is delete the folder and reunzip, if it still does it delete and download again.

haha I actually loved Nadia for her humor with the Banana next to Nami one of the best things when it comes to the humor in this game for me but yeah acting like the locker prank was no big deal did suck.

I think is a good change, seems modern and fresh, and i find very uncomfortable have to press "H" always to can see properly the render.

But is true that is going to be a little strange read the dialogues in the center, i´m used to the typical dialogue box so for me is going to be a little strange But i´m sure i will be used to it.

re: centering the characters name in the text box... I expect the "proof of the pudding will be in the tasting."

We read left to right, so having a characters name left-aligned makes sense because that is where our eyes scan to start reading text.

The impact of centering the characters name will only be known once users spend a fair portion of their playing time having to look center then left to read the dialogues. I have no idea how comfortable this will be without trying it. However, for anyone who thinks this isn't an issue, trying reading dialogues for ten minutes where the characters names are right-aligned and you'll get an idea of the extra eye movement needed.

Took me a long time to figure out what summer looked like now I know she looks like a Chucky doll. If she is still alive and they reintroduce her hope they make her more appealing.

Maybe something like this? Who knows what Ocean have prepared for us...

A blanket statement doesn't really work, won't solve anything, didn't say what OS, what system, or anything you are using.

I test my compressions, and it works here for me on Windows 11 (Pro) no issues, is working for the person who is making the mod for it too.

I can say if you are using Joiplay I offer zero support for it.

John972 Doomyk minibaer12 have you done a play through without going on the heist? This is new info right?

Spoiler: If you don't do the heist

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

A couple of questions to promote thoughts in general now I *think* I've seen every render/done all the paths:

- If Nika has been charged before, was it over the violent incident? Or over Summer? Or one and the same?
- When he mentions to Amber (regarding her question that he blames himself for what happened to Summer) that "it wasn't my fault ...I had no other choice", is this perhaps something he got charged over?
- Have you noticed that immediately after the Summer incident he gets violent at school from being dead inside, but when we enter the story he is depressed: did the violent incident beat the violence out of him?

Regarding Zane relationships:
- Amber and Bella know Zoey, who knows Katie very well, so chances are Bella also is friendly to some part with Katie, especially with her connection to Ayua
- Who is Charlotte really? (Charlie) Jenna mentions that she can set up Nika with Robin, and Molly asks if Robin is Nikas GF if you have the rumour going. It seems Robin is someone important - Molly seemed excited to hear something about Robin. And the venue for the bookclub, is that Charlie's place? Or a hired venue? Or Elena's house? It feels like Robin walked down from her room. But there was also a security guard when NIka walks in, so where is this?
- Robin talks about 'Adri' so Adrianna is a friend of Robin and Sasha's well enough known to have a nickname - I think that's old info, but I didn't notice it before.
- Noji vs all these high society figures, which we already knew, but now the golf course thing is all but confirmed, and I'm pretty sure is said somewhere Noji has played golf with Nick, we have Noji knowing Elena, Scarlet, Katie (by extension Leia as the last time Katie and Leia came to the bookclub was a year ago), Amber, Emilia (all of whom are likely in WiaB), Claire, Charlie, potentially Marla. Also, I think Noji mentions Bella by name before being introduced to her - if you don't go on the heist, she mentions what Nika did to Bella as the reason for sending Nika to AMber. Long winded list, but Noji apparently knows everyone important in Wollust. So there is no hiding Nika from them, we just don't know her connection. Jenna's observations that Noji 'did the right thing' does suggest that all the well to do people know what's going on.

- I've already mentioned goth girl but I also notice her blonde friend stares at Nika quite a few times, and is in the locker room scene if Marla rescues Nika.
- Goth girl highlights the importance of the earring again, so we have Sasha, Ayua, and potentially goth girl wondering about it. If you're not on Bella's path, in ch4 Nika jokes about getting detective Nora on the case (one of the twins) - cute extra fact.

- Dwight as all but confirmed Petrova, because Sasha doesn't have a boyfriend (no NTR in SG according to Ocean's original intent, plus the fact the women at the bookclub tease Nika and Sasha, Kelly's desire to breed Sasha etc.) and she's had a hard time with men recently, plus votes to not have any new male members, so kinda an ice queen. Makes sense that Dwight has carried Ayua home before as Sasha and Ayua are close.

- Demi Hill knowing about Nika's past performance and saying that if he doesn't try out for the first team she'll put his name down herself (crushed balls path), knowing his past. Is part of Hill's plan that's approved from high up to get a new functional team including Nika's past, and that's why Nika and Nami got a scholarship (assuming the reason they didn't have a choice is because they got a scholarship that Noji couldn't refuse). So is Nika's presence actually part of the plan, and they're trying for something specifically involving him?

- Regarding rumours, if you get the locker room incident with Nora, there's new rumours at the training. Not sure if that was there before. So I guess there are rumour meters in the background, the rumours open certain paths, probably affecting the manwhore route.

- is this checklist of Claire's a list of plot devices Ocean will include? LOTS of potential fun there:

Spoiler: Claire's/Ocean's list?

Wow, I really missed some things as I followed Bella's path. It’s very interesting, then this explains why Nika wanted to avoid being seen by the cops in the event with Victoria. As far as I remember, even in the past Ocean said that MC had his own reasons for not being seen by the cops. However, I previously rejected this theory, since scene with sister Melanie, she made it clear that Nika is clean. Then there are even more questions than answers. Who is so powerful behind MC’s back to erase such data?

 

[Anony9876]

Sorry guys but i'm a bit confused, this steam version is censored,right? So will there be an uncenserod version of it or will it stay like that?

Other things pertinent are:
- we have corrupt police from old WiaB. We have gangs from WiaB. The WiaB steam page talks about criminal empires.
- Mon is a policewoman, as is Abigail.
- Dana is a lawyer, as is Elena (in old WiaB at least)
- Jane Laverne is a friend of Noji? As no one is on first name basis with local police as a child. Or was Laverne the truant officer as Noji is their foster parent? How did Nami know to call Jane? Or is Jane a friend of Summer's family and Summer's family are connected to the shadow organisation who are pulling the strings with the corrupt police/feds?

So in my mind it's super easy to bury that info, when we consider Emilio is still around and knows nothing of Nika, which is quite telling. If Emilio has nothing, Stefan definitely won't know a Cyrus, much less the police. Bt as to who can make the police drop a charge:
- the same people who buried Helen's case?
- Dana? Elena? Mon? Abigail? Jane?

It'd have to be Mon, Abigail, Jane or the orginisation for it not to be on the database, I'm sure a dropped charge would still show on the database. The question is, what was the charge for? Was it related to Nika's guilt over what he had no choice over? Or was it after, from the violence that happened while he was dead inside? Was the timeline: Summer > disappearance event > Nika violence > violence event > Hospital/charge > current dpressed Nika keeping his head down?

Noji and Nami are both worried about the fight, and Nika 'won't put them through that again', suggests the charge is related to the violence at school though. It would be interesting to find out more about Jane Laverne.

There is no uncensored version. The 'censoring' is in all versions. The most recent compressed version is the most complete of the full season. A few dialogues have been altered to be 16+, all dick pics have been removed, but implied off screen, the only real lewd of the game was removed already in the Ch5 Beta. The other edits have been done more to provide better character development, which some people agree with and others disagree with.

There's just the one version available on all platforms as far as content goes.

Unless more patches are coming, the Steam version is the final version.
Have fun and cherish Bella.
